Challenge: Generative adversarial network (GAN) is a popular model for text style transfer . but, training GAN often suffers from mode collapse problem, which causes that the transferred text is little related to the original text.
Approach: They propose a non-parallel text style transfer model with a word-level conditional architecture and a two-phase training procedure to maintain style-unrelated words while changing others.
Outcome: The proposed model outperforms state-of-the-art models on three real-world datasets in transfer accuracy and fluency.
